SCRIBE needs LEVELS, and SAND is what is needed to level SCRIBE. SCRIBE levels = WVW Upgrades. You need TONS of sand to level scribe – So sand should be available in wvw!

This is the most optimal scribe leveling path right now:

http://dulfy.net/2016/01/06/gw2-scribing-crafting-leveling-guide/

It requires no sand.

I’m sorry but you actually don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t need sand to level scribe, and you don’t need sand to unlock WvW guild upgrades. I’m the one in charge of unlocking upgrades for my guild, I would know. The only thing you need sand for are glass mugs and sheets of extra coarse sandpaper, neither of which are used for WvW guild upgrades. The only remote case you could possibly make is you need a token amount of glass mugs to unlock the “+WvWxp %” guild enhancement, which would cost you about 4g on the trading post.

Hawk wings, simply put, I like them! A+
The most realistic looking wings so far.

When gliding I’d love to see the wings tuck when pressing down ‘W’ like an actual hawk when diving. This would make the wings feel and perform much greater while also looking amazing in flight!

Example dive on ‘W’:

It is fun in its way (watching it the first couple of times is pretty nice) but it has shortcomings.
- there is a clear audio cue when it initiates, like air raid sirens… time to retreat for the 4ish minutes of bombing.
- I am sure it cycles though I can’t say what spots get hit at what points. I know there’s a point when 3rd floor treb platforms get hot, and the lord’s room gets hot. Makes me wonder if the 2nd floor with the nodes gets hot too (same x-y coordinates but not z). I am sure the outer courtyard looks a mess at a point, but I can’t say if there’s safe spots like by this tree, fountain, hut or what. There may be additional spots in the cycle I’m unaware of, I’ve only ever been on the “giving” end, not “receiving.” I wonder if those on the receiving end get visual cues like red circles all over the place, or is it simply chaos of maybe you’re all of a sudden getting blown up?
- due to the cooldown, a feint can draw a lever pull, which means something like a 15 minute safe period after all the fireworks end. Alternately you might notice a competitor tried to invade and got in trouble (maybe you heard the air raid siren?), so your team is well positioned to jump in right after and capitalize on the wall breach the fail-team just made, or broken gates or whatever.
- noobs, trolls or spies might pull the lever too if on public tactivation. Look at the clock and plan best use of the cooldown safe period as above, I guess.

Finally, someone is thinking with his head :x
Everyone is only like “Dis kitten iz overpoward plz nerf or del” “getin cary m8 noob serv” and stuff instead of actually think about it.
As i said in the comments of the video, there’s a lot of “counters” to it. Even Desolation’s zerg found out how to be safe, & they’ve took SM from us at the 4th attack even if this was the FIRST time they saw this.

Stop hate, adapt yourself to the new changes. At least, Air defense have ways to counter, not the dragon banner

(If there is no changes, ppl crying like hell. When there is changes, ppl hate. What a community rofl.)

Dear bite-sized morsel,

Gimme my spoons back. They’re part of a grand plot to bore a sub-aquatic tunnel to the Eye of the North and my Risen servants can’t dig without them.

Sincerely,

You’re delicious.

Been with this game since the beginning. I love the beautiful zones, the music, did I say the music??? I like that there is always something to do, crafting, chasing after some legendary, yes it takes time but I get lost in just playing the stories and side quests and sometimes get surprised by “oh that’s part of my legendary collection that i just got”.

I love the characters, the graphics, the cities, the monsters, the odd funny things that happen, exploring all the crooks and nannies, ummm crooks and fannies, hookin and grannies, umm all obscure out of the way places on the map.

The parts that I like in the game far outweigh any I don’t, because there are always choices to pick from. Three years later, actually since 2004 if you count GW1 days, I still love the game. I don’t think I’m ever going to get everything done that I want to do there is so much to choose from, that is what makes it fun for me, and has all this time.

The number or players that read the forums is very low.
From that low amount of player, only a fraction have the character slot or the will to make a lvl 53~56 character.
From those selected few, only some didn’t know this already.
The demand for those materials is huge and this post won’t make any difference on the price, but we can hope that this become true, eh?

You can say no to gliding. I’ll wave to you as I fly over you.

As someone who said that we don’t really NEED gliding in Central Tyria, I must say that it probably won’t cause much trouble, and certainly would decrease the amount of gravity-related fatalities.

JPs: Gliding goes down. Most JPs go up. I don’t see the problem. Although there will be rare exceptions – Griffonrook Run being mentioned several times. (I can also think of a couple parts of the Aetherblade JP where a controlled descent could help, but it would also hinder in some ways, as there are tons of obstructions throughout that place.)

For all her negativity, Rose does bring up one valid point: Gliders do auto-deploy on jumps that last longer than normal (most notably, when jumping to a spot more than a bare smidgen lower than the place you jump from). A possible fix would be a toggle for auto-deployment. This would not disable gliding, but would make it so you absolutely had to manually deploy your glider.

For Rata Sum: There’s a “kill plane” in the map. Somewhere below the widest part of the city, but well before you hit the ground. Exploding down there will still be off-limits…. but I’m very curious what we’ll find on the city’s upper slopes! (Also, I’d LOVE to glide off the top level, circle around, and enter one of the mid-level windows.)

Similar effects can be used to prevent access to out-of-map areas, I assume. But it will be very interesting to see what hidden spots or creative shortcuts gliding will enable.

I would think it would work off the Heart of Maguuma mastery, and not require retraining – for the simple reason that Central Tyria masteries (well, the Pact Commander line, at least) work perfectly well in Maguuma. If it was made a separate mastery, the problem I see as largest would not be having to re-learn it (XP in central Tyria is so much more prolific), so much as that many are probably going to be too short on Mastery Points to do it!

If there are any areas where gliding would indeed be truly problematic or would break existing content, they should be able to make an anti-gliding debuff (as it is, diving goggles prevent gliding, even in Maguuma). How they choose to implemented, I would leave to them, although I like the “heavy bomb” idea for Griffonrook – and it works well, because dropping the bomb disqualifies you anyway.

On the subject of non-HoT owners…. this, I see being a prickly problem. On the one hand, I’m all about low barriers to entry. On the other, gliding is specifically a non-core feature, and making it usable in core areas won’t change that (legendary collections and elite specializations are also non-core features, and yet any old player can run into a Tempest, or a Scrapper, or what-have-you, and see people going after components for their precursors). Non-core features ARE what make the expansion worth buying.

Of course, HoT includes the base game, and therefore has effectively displaced the original as the default “go-to” for anyone buying the game. What Arenanet could do is make Gliding available to anyone with a Full Version account, and therefore only the Free (glorified demo) Accounts would be unable to use it. Of course, since core players don’t have HoT, they can’t get Heart of Maguuma Mastery Points to train it. Unless they do make a Tyrian version of the mastery track, of course.

In the end – as with most things in the game – we will just have to see how it goes. Overall, I think it can work just fine, although Arenane tmay need to tweak it to avoid the worst problems.

And now, places I want to glide from:
Dwayna’s Statue in Divinity’s Reach.
Rata Sum, even though it will kill me.
The frozen waterfall in Lornar’s Pass.
Malchor’s Leap – even without the teaser, the chance to shout “DWAYNAAAAAAAA!” is too much to resist.
The SS Topsy-Turvy – the above poster is right, it’d be awesome to glide down there.
Phoenix Roost in Lion’s Arch. (The Lighthouse.)
Mount Maelstrom’s Caldera. It’d be nice to finally land safely on the ground, and not in the lava!
Karka Hive: Same reasoning.
… and much, much more, I’m sure.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but if a guild places a tactivator like banners in an objective, you and your server needs to take that into account and adjust your strategy for engagements. They are meant to resolve blob fights and fights in general faster due to them having increased target cap. The banners introduced are one of the very few anti-stacking mechanics that Anet has thrown to us and will serve a higher purpose later in the year when more guilds have access to it. The more they are used (especially in tiers with overstacked populations), the more we’ll see a shift away from the current meta of stacking on one commander tag. Otherwise, it will be simply just be a tug of war between servers who have the most banners. Again, this is an element that requires servers to adapt to. Also, support your ppt guilds as they are the ones who focus on eliminating those nasty tactivated objectives!

I liked them when they came out and they’re getting better and better as more people start showing up. For instance, I actually felt decently rewarded for defending a keep the other day because the siege lasted long enough that I got a few ticks of the reward. If it triggered on doing large sums of damage as well, it might be in a good spot.

Perhaps the best change of all is that no keep can be taken, outer and inner, with one set of catas. In addition, there are fewer, if any, uncounterable siege spots. If attackers want to ensure their siege is safe they have to build at a distance. This doesn’t hold true for towers, though, and is a bit skewed by people firing through walls…but it’s a start.

Odokuro.5049:

I personally would like them to get rid of Home Server BL’s, and just increase the size of EBG to hold more obstacles (Towers/Keeps/Sentries/Camps/Mercs) and cut the map three ways (Like it already is.)

The map would be large enough to encompass large scale zergs, and be open enough that people doing small group and roaming stuff would have fun as well.

There’s a reason why ESO didn’t work, and GW2 has though ….

ArenaNet, please allow us the chance to obtain rewards from this event. Anything at all:

Extend the event to a full two weeks like other releases.

Increase the amount of blooms the event rewards.

Reduce the prices of the rewards at the vendor.

Remove the hour-long break between invasions.

Not everyone has the chance to spend 8-12 hours a day every day for the whole weekend grinding these events just to get a single item. That’s not respecting the audience you’re catering to. You guys didn’t make GW2 with the all-day player in mind, you made it for the daily player with only a couple hours or less per day. That’s why you put everything behind daily cooldowns, remember? This event is only rewarding to the very small percentage of players who have the entire weekend with no obligations and 16 hours to spend every day, and that feels disrespectful to everyone else.

If you’re going to dangle a very desired reward in front of your players, make sure that most of them at least have a chance to obtain it.

I understand where you are coming from, when I was a wow player many years ago I played with my name tag showing and then when I started this game 3 years ago at first I was a little uncomfortable not seeing it, however, trust me when I say, in time you will get used to it and will never want to see a name tag above your character again, I have gone a complete 180 and it would feel very odd to me and obtrusive if I had my name showing.

Funny how all the complaining about YB being the dominant server in T2 now is coming from the exact FA folks who once dominated T2 for the past 6-8 months… Bite down hard FA ppl. What goes around comes around.

Nymeria.5930:

All started after an update for my Nvidia gefore 750M…..

So .. that is the answer mostly. Go back to older drivers. NVidia is famous for
releasing crappy drivers that give maybe better FPS to the new FOTM Game
but give a lot people problems.
